MAY 2002 by Bob Mulligan test for ftp dreamweaver

May is a turning point, a dividing line. It is with great difficulty that we assess the road ahead. We have finally reached a place of acceptance and asimilation of the deep changes of world circumstances from last fall. Let's face it though, there is still some further ground clearing in human consciousness that must be done before we can move on to a better world. May sets the tone for these changes.

Individually we can make great strides forward in our lives. However, collectively we don't seem to fare as well now. The big picture looks bleak even as opportunities abound in our personal lives. This is the most fertile month in our lives for making deep lasting personal changes. However, On the national and international level this is a very, very difficult time period. As I commented earlier, last year and in January 2002, the world changes permanently under that Saturn Pluto opposition. May 25th this aspect completes for the third and final time. General patterns in the sky seems to indicate a world in conflict with itself. This atmosphere will carry on into June, then gradually dissipate as a new world is born. Our world is in for a rough time of it. However, at the same time, we genuinely can clarify and resolve many small issues in our own personal lives. And, in the long run this is great because; the correct handling of small issues leads to resolution of big issues. Further, as we universally handle concerns in our private lives this automatically has a curative effect on our collective lives. After all, governments symbolize the general will and karma of the people just as our physical climate reflects the natural movement of our consciousness. More than most times, with the North Node of the Moon in Gemini (sign of learning) being jointed by Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, we have the ability to learn something new.

On the 1st we have Sun Sextile Jupiter showing opportunity to rectify things in the home and family. Its A day of feeling good. Quick solutions to old problems as we focus on learning something new. With Mercury parallel both Mars Jupiter we can meaningfully communicate what we understand form our current situation.

On May 2nd Mars parallels Jupiter. We are in a process now of reorganizing, studying and finding comfort. Time is of the essence. Tie up loose ends.

The 4th brings both Mars conjunct Saturn, and Venus trine Neptune. Difficulties are present. If you see solutions, implement them. If you don't just wait. This is a great day for enjoying the arts. Innovation is favored now. New forms are emerging.

On the 5th Venus parallels Jupiter. Communicate your feeling to those that matter most. There is a positive energy emerging. Catch the wave.

On the 7th Venus conjuncts Saturn, then Parallels Mars. We all work on finding new methods to implement our values. If may seem that key relationships are headed for the "Meat Grinder". However, the good news is that today presents us with an opportunity to prioritize people and activities in an edifying way.

May 8th Mars opposes Pluto. There is potential for violence today. Avoid anyone stuck in the past or anyone that might provoke an argument.

On the 9th Sun contra-parallels Neptune, and Venus opposes Pluto. Its easy to feel that we are "in over our head" today. Best to just wait for things to change, sometimes doing nothing is the right response.

The 10th Venus conjuncts Mars showing that light affable communications can be the ticket to keeping the energy vibrant between people. Avoid trying to deal with issues other than those that are immediate today. This can lay the foundation for a better future.

On the 11th Mercury parallels Mars. Important decisions hastily made brings necessary yet unforeseen consequences.

12th New Moon at 21 Taurus at 6:46am EDT. We are at our best when we meditate for world unity by seeking our own mental peace and coming to terms with our own personal history. A day of profound introspection.

13th Neptune turns Retrograde. Our connection with culture may take a new road. We are more likely to see the results of our actions.

14th Moon conjuncts Mars and Venus, and also parallels Jupiter and Mercury. The real challenge is to sort through the myriad of options today. Quick, bold action can bring us victory "snatched from the jaws of defeat". Don't underestimate the power of well placed communication.

15th Mercury turns retrograde. We enter the recapitulative cycle. What we have done in the past needs a second look. Edit, revise, refine.

16th Mercury parallels Jupiter. We get a second chance to straighten out things with people close to us.

17th Venus hard aspect Neptune, and Jupiter hard aspect Uranus. Luck abundance and release of tension are all present now.

19th Venus trines Uranus then crosses into Cancer. Emotional transitions as necessary. Seize the moment. Circumstances are changing now. Innovation in communication leads to emotional connections.

On the 21st the Sun moves into Gemini. We move deeper into the energy of spring which is to be the most healing of seasons. We pause today to examine our way of gathering information.

The 22nd Mercury parallels Saturn, and Mars sesquiquadrate Neptune. Reevaluation of past mistakes reveals overlooked underlying value. We may discover possible avenues for overcoming fears. Taking a "leap of faith" has to make sense. But, great advancement is possible if we think our way through problems piece by piece.

25th Saturn opposite Pluto. Change what you can and be patient. Most pain is projection.

On the 26th we have an Eclipse at the time of the Full Moon at 5 Sagittarius at 7:52 am EDT. Also we have Mars trining Uranus. When our motives are pure profound unspeakable change for the world is possible.

27th Sun conjuncts Mercury, then the Moon conjuncts Pluto and opposes Saturn. Affirm your truth and be willing to establish new mental habits. Give up the desire to be right.

28th Mars enters Cancer. We are at home with our emotions. However, we may still suffer because not everyone close to us is comfortable with our feelings. Unexamined episodes from our past may be unearthed by others. Take the initiative. Life is simpler when we explain what we are doing.

29th Venus Quincunx Neptune. Escape and over estimation can lead us to makeshift solutions which only tide us over. Instinctive habits can both buoy us up and hold us back.

31st Jupiter Quincunx Pluto. Once again we are all offered a method for making peace with ourselves. We must be willing to relinquish the toxic ingredients in our personality in order to connect with others.
